Crap. Now I need a brownie. *sigh* I need to find a job with a better cafeteria.

I'm going to have to assume he meant plural. I AM wasting time, so that was spot on. At closer read, this statement could be a commentary on our food obsessed/self-imposed deprivation culture, to which women are particularly vulnerable. He may not have been trying to silence our banter, rather he is embracing his internal…

Food porn is our specialty. :blushing:

I wonder if there is already an "I heart cake" group on here. I think there should be and I'm inviting all of you to join.

I mean...uh, we're talking about a new workout Jillian Michaels is promoting...it's, uh...it's called the 30 Day Ledge. That Jillian is out of control.

hmm, I suppose it would depend on how much resistance was involved. If I did a sneak attack push and the wind was just right, there would probably be minimal burn. But I suspect she's a bit scrappy and would put up a bit of a fight, so it could be quite a few calories. :happy:

Without a doubt Guinness.

I will push you off said ledge because I don't have any cake to eat. And now I will be thinking about cake, how much I deserve a piece, how there is no cake selection in the cafeteria, and the only comfort I will have is pushing you for putting that evil seed in my already fertile brain. My coworkers brought in oatmeal…

I used to be the same way! I recently have accepted the reality that I have gluten and corn intolerance, so when I cut these things out of my diet I found I was eating way more protein. My sweets cravings completely disappeared--which is hard to believe because I've never met a dessert I didn't like. I'm not saying you…

If this was your career, I'd say stick it out until the last day, but it sounds like it's just a job. If you don't need that last week's salary, call in sick and give yourself a little adventure for the week. Or spend the time more productively by packing and getting excited about your big move! I've spent all of my adult…

I vaguely recall "Herbie Goes Bananas." I think i was with my mom and my sister, and I must have been maybe 8?

Welcome! You'll find a lot of support here!

You look great! Keep it up!

Wowza!! that's fantastic!

fantastic!! You're doing great!

I love my two monsters (in my profile pic). We got the little brindle one last May from a rescue, and then we got the tall blonde one from a rescue this past November. I never had dogs before so I was completely unprepared when I fell madly in love with them. We like to take them on the trails in a nearby park, and they…

That's fantastic!! I never feel like I can get under a 12 minute mile, so thanks for the inspiration!

This is a beautiful post.

Every family has a button-pusher! Try to take it in stride. It is afterall YOUR body, and if she wants to comment on it, don't give her the satisfaction of a reaction. A simple. "Uh-huh. That's an interesting point." will send any button-pusher over the edge! :-) Keep doing what you're doing!

I was going to say I was shocked by the slamming on all sides, and then I remembered that this is the Internet. I think the generalizations are based on the squeaky wheel syndrome. You have fringe that are the most vocal and identify themselves as Christian/Catholic/Muslim/Jewish/Atheist and so on, and if their statements…

I don't envy the position you're in. Religion/faith/spirituality is for many people an integral part of their identity, and often times we don't even realize it is until it is challenged. It sounds like this experience is challenging you right now. Ultimately, interfaith relationships can work if there is mutual respect of…

BTW, don't forget to take your "before" pictures and measurements. We love to see before and after pictures on the Success Stories forum! Now rock on!

You should be so proud of yourself! Take your time and find your own pace. You will be so surprised in 6 months when you look back on this post and think, "wow! I've come so far!" If you need motivation, spend some time every morning on the Success Stories forum. You are not alone, and there are so many people daily…

I wonder if it has anything to do with all the bra & undies shots? :blushing:

I'm too young to look this old. Nothing gets me going like a little vanity. :smile:

I noticed when I gave up drinking that my face was less bloated and my belly trimmed down. It also improved my vision. When I went out to a bar after not drinking for a while, I could finally see clearly how obnoxious drunk people were! Have a club soda with lime. People will assume it's vodka and soda. And then sit back…

that's fantastic!! Congrats and enjoy the medium!!

LOVE THIS! That was great.

Maybe said guy is new to the area, doesn't know a lot of people and sees that you and he might have something in common. Maybe he was in a relationship before and is a stand up guy who wouldn't have looked at other women, but now he's free... Maybe this guy was 50 pounds heavier last year. He's been working hard and he…

Sometimes I can't help myself. I had to get innoculations for a trip to Central and South American a few years ago, and my doctor's name was Dr. James Brown. In tribute to the incomparable Godfather of Soul, Mr. James Brown, everytime he gave me a shot I'd yell: "Yow, jump back, I wanna kiss myself!" Dr. Brown was not a…
